Burmese pro-democracy leader faces trial again
Anchor Lisa Mullins speaks with the BBC’s Jonathan Head about the new charges brought by the military government of Myanmar against opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. She faces a new trial just as her current house arrest was about to end. The new charges stem from a bizarre incident last week when an American man swam across a lake to Suu Kyi’s house.
